Frequently asked questions
- What batch size does the Grainfather G30 (3rd generation) handle?
- It is listed at 8 gallons, which suits 5 gallon batches. Always leave headspace: a fermenter filled to the brim will push krausen into the airlock, and a kettle filled to the brim will boil over.
- Is the Grainfather G30 (3rd generation) worth the price?
- It sits in the expert tier on this site at $870.20. Whether that is right for you depends on how often you brew. Equipment cost spreads across every batch you make, so a more expensive system that gets used fortnightly can work out cheaper per pint than a budget one that gets used twice a year.
